Data Location: Your personal data may be maintained, processed and stored by us and our authorized Service Providers (defined below) in multiple locations, including in the United Kingdom, the EU and other jurisdictions, as reasonably necessary for the proper performance and delivery of our Services, or as may be required by law.
While privacy laws may vary between jurisdictions, OUNO App and its Service Providers are each committed to protect personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy, customary industry standards, and such appropriate lawful mechanisms and contractual terms requiring adequate data protection, regardless of any lesser legal requirements that may apply in the jurisdiction to which such data is transferred.
Data Retention: We will retain your personal data for as long as it is reasonably necessary for us to maintain and expand our relationship and provide you with our Services and offerings; in order to comply with our legal and contractual obligations; or to protect ourselves from any potential disputes (i.e. as required by laws applicable to log-keeping, records and bookkeeping, and in order to have proof and evidence concerning our relationship, should any legal issues arise following your discontinuance of use), all in accordance with our contractual terms and data retention policy.
Please note that except as required by applicable law or our specific agreements with you, we will not be obligated to retain your personal data for any particular period, and we are free to securely delete it or restrict access to it for any reason and at any time, with or without notice to you. If you have any questions about our data retention policy, please contact us by e-mail at privacy@ounoapp.com.
- Data Sharing
Legal Compliance: In exceptional circumstances, we may disclose or allow government and law enforcement officials access to your personal data, in response to a subpoena, search warrant or court order (or similar requirement) and where such disclosure is necessary to comply with applicable laws and regulations. Such disclosure or access may occur if we believe in good faith that: (a) we are legally compelled to do so; (b) disclosure is appropriate in connection with efforts to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding actual or suspected illegal activity, fraud, or other wrongdoing; or (c) such disclosure is required to protect the security or integrity of our Services.
Service Providers: We engage selected third-party companies and individuals to perform services complementary to our own. Such service providers hosting and server co-location services, communications and content delivery networks (CDNs), billing and payment processing services, data and cyber security services, fraud detection and prevention services, web and mobile analytics, e-mail, text messages and web/mobile notification distribution, monitoring and analytics services, data optimization and marketing services, social and advertising networks, content providers, e-mail, voicemails, support and customer relation management systems, call and session recording services, and our legal, financial and compliance advisors (collectively, “Service Providers“).
These Service Providers may have access to your personal data, depending on each of their specific roles and purposes in facilitating and enhancing our Services, and may only use it for such limited purposes as determined in our agreements with them. Should you decide to directly engage with any of OUNO App’s Service Providers, please note that such engagement is beyond the scope of OUNO App’s Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy, and will therefore be covered by our Service Provider’s terms and policies.
Our Service Providers shall be deemed as ‘data processors’ in circumstances where OUNO App assumes the role of ‘data controller’; and where OUNO App acts as the ‘data processor’ for our business customer, the Service Provider shall be deemed our ‘sub-processor’ (as further described in Section 9 below).
Third Party Websites and Services: Our Services may also include links to third-party websites, and integrations with third party services. Such websites and third-party services, and any information you process, submit, transmit or otherwise use with such websites and third-party services, are governed by such third party’s terms and privacy practices and policies, and not by this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to carefully read the terms and privacy policies of such website and third-party services.
Sharing Personal Data with our Customers and their Users: We may share your personal data with the business customer owning the account to which you are subscribed as a user – including data and communications concerning your use of the Services or other interactions with us, but only in relation to that business account). In such cases, sharing such data means that the account’s administrator(s) or other individuals in your organization may access it on behalf of our business customer, and will be able to monitor and review data concerning the rides or deliveries you ordered via our Services, as well as access any personal data that was submitted by you or the individual for whom you ordered the ride or delivery.
Sharing data between Users and Driving Partners: in order to provide our Services, we are required to share certain details about users (name, phone, ride start and end point, pick-up time and ride related details entered as free text) and our drivers or couriers (name, phone, user score, current location, time of arrival estimation, car type/brand and plate number, hobbies and similar information) with each other.

OUNO App Subsidiaries and Affiliated Companies: We may share personal data internally within our group of companies, for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. In addition, should OUNO App or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates undergo any change in control or ownership, including by means of merger, acquisition or purchase of substantially all or part of its assets, your personal data may be shared with the parties involved in such an event. If we believe that such change in control might materially affect your personal data then stored with us, we will notify you of this event and the choices you may have via e-mail or prominent notice on our Services.
For the avoidance of doubt, OUNO App may share your personal data in additional manners, pursuant to your explicit approval, or if we are legally obligated to do so, or if we have successfully rendered such data non-personal and anonymous.

- Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are packets of information sent to your web browser and then sent back by the browser each time it accesses the server that sent the cookie. Some cookies are removed when you close your browser session. These are the “Session Cookies”. Some last for longer periods and called “Persistent Cookies”. We use both types.
We use Persistent Cookies to remember your log-in details and make it easier for you to log-in the next time you access the Services. We may use this type of cookies and Session Cookies for additional purposes, to facilitate the use of the Services’ features and tools.
Every browser allows you to manage your cookies preferences. Please bear in mind that disabling cookies may complicate or even prevent you from using certain parts of features of the Services.
For more information, please review our Cookie Policy.
We also use analytics tools such as Google Analytics. These tools help us understand your behavior on our Services, including by tracking page content, and click/touch, movements, scrolls and keystroke activities. Further information about the privacy practices of our google analytics is available at: www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/;
Further information about your option to opt-out of google analytics services is available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Please note that if you get a new computer or device, install a new browser, erase or otherwise alter your browser’s cookie file (including upgrading certain browsers), you may also clear the opt-out cookies installed once you opt-out, so an additional opt-out will be necessary to prevent additional tracking.
- Communications

Promotional Communications: We may also notify you about new features, additional offerings, better ways to use the Services, events and special opportunities or any other information we think you will find valuable. We may provide such notices through any of the contact means available to us (e.g. phone, SMS, mobile notifications or e-mail), through the Services, or through our marketing campaigns on any other sites or platforms.
If you do not wish to receive such promotional communications, you may notify OUNO App at any time by filing THIS form, or by following the “unsubscribe”, “stop”, “opt-out” or “change e-mail preferences” instructions contained in the promotional communications you receive.
- Information Security
We and our hosting services implement systems, applications and procedures to secure your personal data, and to reduce the risks of theft, damage, loss of data, or unauthorized access or use of personal data. These measures provide sound industry standard security. However, although we make efforts to protect your privacy, we cannot guarantee that the Services will be immune from any wrongdoings, malfunctions, unlawful interceptions or access, or other kinds of abuse and misuse.
- Data Subject Rights
If you wish to exercise your rights under any applicable law, such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), to request access to, and rectification or erasure of your personal data held with OUNO App, or to restrict or object to such personal data’s processing, or to port such personal data – please contact us via privacy@ounoapp.com.
Please note that when you ask us to exercise any of your rights under this policy or applicable law, we may need to ask you to provide us certain credentials to make sure that you are who you claim you are, to avoid disclosure to you of personal data related to others and to ask you to provide further information to better understand the nature and scope of the data to which your request pertains. Such additional information will be then retained by us for legal purposes (e.g. as proof of the identity of the person submitting the request), in accordance with Section 3 above.
We may redact from the data which we will make available to you, any personal data or confidential information related to others.
- Data Controller/Processor
Certain data protection laws and regulations, such as the GDPR, typically distinguish between two main roles for parties processing personal data: the “data controller”, who determines the purposes and means of processing; and the “data processor”, who processes the data on behalf of the data controller. Below we explain how these roles apply to our Services, to the extent that such laws and regulations apply.
OUNO App is the “data controller” of personal data pertaining to its users, drivers and couriers, customers, suppliers, visitors and prospects, and assumes the responsibilities of a data controller (solely to the extent applicable under law), as set forth in this Privacy Policy. In such instances, our Service Providers processing such data will assume the role of “data processor”.
OUNO App is the “data processor” of registration and deregistration data pertaining to users of business accounts (solely to the extent that such data is shared by our business customer during the onboarding process). In such instances, our business customer shall be deemed the “data controller” of such data, and OUNO App will process such data on the customer’s behalf, as its “data processor”, in accordance with its reasonable instructions, subject to our Terms and Conditions, this Privacy Policy, and the commercial and data processing agreements executed between OUNO App and such customers (as applicable). OUNO App’s Service Providers shall then act as designated sub-processors in these instances. OUNO App’s business customer will be responsible for meeting any legal requirements applicable to data controllers (such as obtaining their consent or establishing other legal basis for processing).

After such notice period, all amendments shall be deemed accepted by you.
